myth. The four major islands are Waigeo, Misool (which is home to ancient rock painting), Salawati,
and Batanta. Raja Ampat is located in the bird head of the island of Papua. Underwater enthusiasts flock
to this region because it offers the world's best marine sight. In the Raja Ampat islands, divers can
explore vertical underwater walls. The thrill of drift diving is another great challenge.
The territory within the islands of the Four Kings is enormous, covering 9.8 million acres of land and
sea, home to 540 types of corals, more than 1,000 types of coral fish and 700 types of mollusks. This
makes it the most diverse living library for world's coral reef and underwater biota. According to a
report developed by The Nature Conservancy and Conservation International, around 75% of the
world's species live here.

Text 6: Kapoposang
Kapoposang is one of the largest of the Spermonde Islands, around 70 km northwest of Makassar, South
Sulawesi. Kapoposang covers an area of around 50,000 hectares and is inhabited by around 100
families. Several other islands both inhabited and uninhabited lie near Kapoposang. The larger ones
include Papandangan, Kondongbali, Suranti and Tambakulu.
Kapoposang and the nearby islands were declared a Nature Tourism Park by the Department of Forestry
in 1999. Diving has been an important activity at Kapoposang since the mid 1990s. There were so few
local divers at the time, and because of the distance from other well-known diving areas in Indonesia,
Kapoposang has basically remained a secret.
The best time to visit Kapoposang is between April and November, when the seas are calm, the weather
favorable, and the wind less fierce than in the other months. The trip takes two hours by speedboat; the
ocean breezes help to cool your skin in the hot morning sun. As you approach Pulau Kapoposang, you
see the deep blue water, which suddenly meets an expanse of coral reefs between extensive shallows
with white sands in the seabed. Sea grass also grows lushly near the shore. The sea bed at Kapoposang
has a unique composition; near the island are some quite shallow contours, and then suddenly steep
underwater cliffs leading to seemingly endless depths. The water is very clear; you can expect
underwater visibility of over 15 meters – ideal conditions for divers.

Text 7: The Houses of the Toraja

The ethnic groups in the mountain regions of southwest and central Sulawesi (Celebes) are known by
the name of Toraja, which has come to mean "those who live upstream" or "those who live in the
mountains". Their name is in fact derived from the word Raja, which in Sanskrit means "king". The
society is hierarchically structured: the noblemen are called rengnge, the ordinary people to makaka,
and the slaves to kaunan; birth determines which rank a person will occupy.
The distinctive features of the traditional houses (tongkonan) of the Toraja are the "buffalo horns", the
roof design and the rich decoration on the walls. The buffalo is a symbol of status, courage, strength and
fighting spirit.
Designed as a representation on the universe, the tongkonan is constructed in three parts: the upper
world (the roof), the world of humans (the middle of the building), and the underworld (the space under
the floor). The highly distinctive roors constructed by the Toraja given rise to various ingenious

We had dinner at Surya Super Crab Restaurant in downtown Makassar. The restaurant is fancy and

Soviet Union. They emigrated to the U.S. in their teens, meeting in New York. When I was a year old,
my parents moved to Rahway, N.J., a small town about 20 miles from New York City.

Jones. Arthur Burns shaped my understanding of economic research, introduced me to the highest
scientific standards, and became a guiding influence on my subsequent career. Homer Jones introduced

graduate work. On his recommendation, the Chicago Economics Department offered me a tuition
scholarship. As it happened, I was also offered a scholarship by Brown University in Applied
Mathematics, but, by that time, I had definitely transferred my primary allegiance to economics. In 1976
I won the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics for my achievements in the fields of consumption
analysis, monetary history and theory and for his demonstration of the complexity of stabilization

Two Brothers
Long ago, there were two brothers called Akomi and Ombah. They were ambitious and winning.
Akomi, the elder brother, said, "If we become the King's employees, we can make laws to collect more
money from the people. We will become very rich."
They went to see King Aruya. Akomi said, "Your Majesty, let us be your ministers. We will make good
laws. All your subjects will be happy. I am wise and clever. I know everything."
King Aruya said angrily, "That is not true! Nobody knows everything. For example, do you know how
many stars there are in the sky? Guards! Throw this liar into the river of crocodiles!"
Ombah's hands trembled. Then he thought to himself, "King Aruya will also punish me if I say the
wrong thing. My brother said he knew everything and his answer was wrong. So if I say the opposite,

Long ago on the top of Mount Kinabalu in Borneo, there lived a dragon. He owned a large and beautiful
pearl. People believed that he controlled the weather with it.
The emperor of China heard this and wanted the pearl. He sent his two sons, Wee Ping and Wee San to
Borneo to steal it. The princes, together with one hundred soldiers, set sail for Borneo in twelve sailing
junks.
When they arrived in Borneo, they set out immediately to find the famous mountain. Their journey up
the rugged slopes of Mount Kinabalu proved very difficult. The dragon guarded his cave very fiercely
and killed many of their soldiers.
Then Wee San had a clever idea. He climbed a tall tree, so he could see the dragon’s cave. He noted
what time the dragon left his cave to hunt for food and what time he returned to it.
Next he ordered his men to make a fake pearl and a large kite. He waited until the dragon left his cave.
Then he placed the fake pearl in a bag, slung it across his shoulder and flew up to the mountain-top on
the kite. He exchanged the real pearl for the fake one and then his brother pulled his kite back to the
ground.
The brothers quickly returned to their ships and set sail for China. They sailed safely home. The
emperor was thrilled with the pearl and gave a big party to celebrate his sons’ return.

Narrative Text the Smartest
The Smartest
Mrs. Bird and her two little children lived on the peak of an area tree. Every morning she fed them
happily. She always did her best to take care of her beloved children. She built a very comfortable nest
for them. She was proud of it. After admiring her nest, she looked at Mr. Spider who lived next door.
“Hi, Mr. Spider. It’s really nice to see you,” she greeted him. Then she asked, “What are you doing?”
I’m finishing my web, replied Mr. Spider. “Your web? Haa, haa, haa, It’s so weak, isn't it? Look at my
nest. It’s strong, warm, beautiful and artistic. My children can stay there safely,” Mrs. Bird said proudly.
Having heard Mrs. Bird words, Mr. Spider could not bear his emotion any longer. He replied,
“But wasn't your nest blown out off its tree because of strong wind last week? Look, the strong wind
could not destroy my web. It’s made of flexible and strong thread. Moreover there’s no need for me to
go out to get my meal. Foolish insects trapped in my web will become my meal. You see, I have a
wonderful life. So, I’m smarter than you are.”
Both of them were arguing to find out who the smarter was when an ant watched them for a long time.
“Stop arguing, friends. Neither of you is smarter. My family and I never argue. We always work
together, greet one another, help each other, in short we live peacefully. I think I’m smarter than both of
you,” interrupted Miss Ant. Then the three argued about who the smartest was. The three went to a
mediator, Mr. Rooster.
On the way they met Mr. Chameleon. “Hi friends, where are you going?” inquired Mr. Chameleon who
was on a big shady banyan tree. “We are going to MR. Rooster. We want him to judge who the smartest
among us is,” said Miss Ant enthusiastically. “I see. But don’t you know that none of you is the
smartest? I’m the smartest because I can adjust my skin to my environment. It changes into green,
brown, and other colors depending where I’m. So I’m the smartest aren't I?” asked Mr. Chameleon.
Hearing the boasting chameleon, Mr. Spider asked cynically, “Then, Mr. Chameleon. What is your
skin’s real color?” Mr. Chameleon could not answer his question. But each of them was still sure that he
or she was the smartest.
Mr. Rooster opened the door and interrupted, “Be cool, my comrades. Don’t quarrel. To tell the truth
none of you is smartest. It’s me. Listen! Without my presence in this world, you wouldn't be able to get
up early in the morning. While all of you are still sleeping soundly, I have got up. With my wonderful
crowing, I ask the sun to light up our world.”
The quarrel was becoming even hotter when Mr. Mouse Deer approached them. “Hi, foolish animals.
Don’t you know that I’m the smartest of all. I even deceived Mr.
Crocodile and Mr. Tiger successfully when they tried to kill me,” boasted Mr. Mouse Deer. They all got
sore throats because of their incessant arguing. They were getting tired and the day grew darker and
darker. The night came, slowly stars appeared in the sky. The animals stopped arguing enjoyed the
twinkling stars. The stars made the jungle look beautiful. Soon the moon was coming out. “What a
beautiful night it is?” asked Mr. Chameleon. None of the animals answered his question. All of the fully
admired the beautiful light. They did not quarrel anymore. Because of their great admiration, they came
to a conclusion that none of them was the smartest except the One who hung the stars and the moon in
the sky.

Report Text + Jawaban Gardenia Plant
SOAL UN SMP 2011
Gardenia plants are popular for the strong sweet scent of their flowers.
Gardenia is the national flower in Pakistan. In Japan and China, the
flower is called Kuchinashi (Japanese) and Zhi zi (Chinese).
Gardenia plants are evergreen shrubs. Their small trees can grow to 1 - 5
meters tall. The leaves are 5 - 50 centimeters long and 3 - 25 centimeters
broad, dark green and glossy with a leathery texture. The flowers are in
small groups, white, or pale yellow, with 5-12 lobes (petals) from 5-12
centimeters diameter. They usually bloom in mid- spring to mid-
summer. Many species have strong aroma.
To cultivate gardenia as a house plant is not easy. This species can be

difficult to grow because it originated in warm humid tropical areas. It
demands high humidity and bright (not direct) light to thrive. It
flourishes in acidic soil with good drainage and thrives on 20° – 23° C
during the day and 15° – 16° C in the evening. Potting soils developed
specifically for gardenias are available. It grows no larger than 18 inches
in height and width when grown indoor. In climates where it can be
grown outdoors, it can reach the height of 6 feet. If water hits the

Report Text Jellyfish + Jawaban
Read the text and answer questions 39 to 42.
Jellyfish are not really fish. They are invertebrate animals. This means that unlike fish or people, they
have no backbones. In fact, they have no bones at all.
Jellyfish have stomachs and mouths, but no heads. They have nervous systems for sensing the world
around them, but no brains. They are made almost entirely of water, which is why you can look through
them.
Some jellyfish can glow in darkness by making their own light. The light is made by a chemical reaction
inside the jellyfish. Scientists believe jellyfish glow for several reasons. For example, they may glow to
scare away predators or to attract animals they like to eat.
Most jellyfish live in salt water, apart from a few types that live in fresh water. Jellyfish are found in
oceans and seas all over the world. They live in warm, tropical seas and in icy waters near the North and
South poles.

Comparison of unweathered (left) and weathered (right)

limestone.
(Wikipedia).
Every single rock on the surface of the Earth-whether it is gravestone, a piece of solidified lava from a
volcano or a boulder that has broken from a cliff or mountain-is slowly being broken down. This
breaking down of rocks at or near the Earth’s surface is called weathering. The word is used because the
weather is mainly responsible. Weathering turns solid rock into soft materials that may eventually form
soil.
Air and water are the cause of most weathering. Sometimes they change the chemical in the rocks, and
sometimes they just break apart the rock physically. If water seeps into the cracks in the rocks, for
example, it may later freeze if the temperature falls below 0 degrees Celsius. As the water turns to ice, it
expands, pushing against the sides of the rock with a pressure believe to be as much as 2,100 kilograms
per square centimetre. This forces the cracks open. Repeated freezing and thawing causes the fragments
to break away from the original rock, these may slide down a cliff or mountain and form a sloping mass
of fragments at the bottom, called scree.
1. According to the text,....

A. there are two kinds of rock, gravestone and a boulder
B. soft materials will turn to solidified lava through weathering

Report Text + Jawaban Remote Sensing
SOAL UN SMA 2012
Remote sensing is the acquisition of information about an object or phenomenon, without making
physical contact with the object. In modern usage, the term generally refers to the use of aerial sensor
technology to detect and classify objects on Earth (both on the surface, and in the atmosphere and
ocean) by means of propagated signals (e.g. electromagnetic radiation emitted from aircraft or
satellites).
There are two main types or remote sensing: passive remote sensing and active remote sensing. Passive
sensors detect natural radiation that is emitted or reflected by the objects or surrounding area being
observed. Reflected sunlight is the most common source of radiation measured by passive censors.
Examples of passive remote sensors include film photography, infra-red, charge-coupled devices, and
radiometers. Active collection, on the other hand, emits energy in order to scan objects and areas
whereupon a sensor then detects and measures the radiation that is reflected or backscattered from the
target. RADAR and LIDAR are examples of active remote sensing where the time delay between
emission and return is measured, stabilizing the location, height, speed and direction of an object.
1. From the text we know that remote sensing…

a. Is a way to obtain information about an object or phenomenon
b. Does not difficult to do c. Makes physical contact with the object
d. Does not make use of censors
e. Does not make use propagated signals

a. Active sensing is better than passive sensing
b. The energy in sunlight is important for remote sensing
c. Passive sensing is not as strong as active sensing
d. The source of energy radiated for sensing determines whether it is the active or passive type
e. Active remote sensing and passive remote sensing are equally useful for the development of

Raja Ampat or 'Four Kings', is the name given to some islands in West Papua and comes
from a local myth. The four major islands are Waigeo, Misool (which is home to ancient rock
painting), Salawati, and Batanta. Raja Ampat is located in the bird head of the island of Papua.
Underwater enthusiasts flock to this region because it offers the world's best marine sight. In the
Raja Ampat islands, divers can explore vertical underwater walls. The thrill of drift diving is
another great challenge.
The territory within the islands of the Four Kings is enormous, covering 9.8 million acres
of land and sea, home to 540 types of corals, more than 1,000 types of coral fish and 700 types
of mollusks. This makes it the most diverse living library for world's coral reef and underwater
biota. According to a report developed by The Nature Conservancy and Conservation
International, around 75% of the world's species live here.
When divers first arrive here their excitement is palpable. It's common to hear people
praise God as they take in the remarkable scenery. Others prefer to remain in silence taking in
the overwhelming sight of so many islands with crystal clear water that softly brushes over the
white sandy beaches

Teks Report Aurora
An aurora is a natural light display in the sky particularly in the high latitude (Arctic and Antarctic)
regions, caused by the collision of energetic charged particles with atoms in the high altitude
atmosphere (thermosphere). The charged particles originate in the magnetosphere and solar wind are
directed by the Earth`s magnetic field into the atmosphere. Most auroras occur in a band known as the
aurora zone which is typically 3 to 6 in latitudinal extent and at all local times or longitudes.
Aurora is classified as diffuse or discrete aurora. The diffuse aurora is a featureless glow in the sky
which may not be visible to the naked eye even in a dark night and defines the extent of the aurora zone.
Discrete aurorae are sharply defined feature within the diffuse aurora which vary in brightness from just
barely visible to the naked eye to bright enough to read a newspaper at night .Discrete aurorae are
usually observed only in the night sky because they are not as bright as the sunlit sky .
In northern latitudes ,the effect is known as the aurora borealis (or the northern lights ),named after the
Roman goddess of dawn, Aurora , and the Greek name for the north wind ,Boreas ,by Pierre Gassendi in
1621.Its southern counterpart , the aurora australis (or the south lights), has almost identical features to
the aurora borealis and changes simultaneously with the changes in the northern auroral zone and is
visible from high southern latitudes in Antarctica , South America and Australia.

Teks Report Natural Disaster
A natural disaster is a terrible accident, e.g. a great flood, a big fire or an earthquake. It usually causes
great suffering and loss of a large sum of money. The casualties are injured or died. Some people are
homeless and need medical care.
Floods occur when the water of rivers, lakes, or streams overflow their banks and pour onto the
surrounding land. Floods are caused by many different things. Often heavy rainstorms that last for a
brief can cause a flood. But not all heavy storms are followed by flooding. If the surrounding land is flat
and can absorb the water, no flooding will occur. If, however, the land is hard and rocky, heavy rain
cannot be absorbed. Where the banks are low, a river may overflow and flood adjacent lowland.
In many part of the world flood are caused by tropical storms called hurricanes or typhoons. They bring
destructive winds of high speed, torrents of rain, and flooding. When a flood occurs, the destruction to
surrounding land can be severe. Whole villages and towns are sometimes swept away by water pouring
swiftly over the land. Railroad track blocked and uprooted from their beds. Highways are washed away.
When a building caught fire, the firemen pitched in to help battle the blaze. Before the pumps were
invented, people formed bucket brigades to fight fires. Standing side by side, they formed a human
chain from the fire to nearby well or river. They passed buckets of water from to hand to be poured on
the flames.
The damage of the fire did depend a great deal on where it happened. In the country or a small village,
only a single house might burn down. But in crowded cities, fire often destroyed whole blocks and
neighborhoods before being controlled.

with Rutgers University-New Jersey and Ag Canada, Kent ville, Nova Scotti. Restorative protects dark-
skinned bunch grapes from fungal diseases and provides health benefits to consumers, including
protection from cardiovascular disease. The compound’s anticancer potential warranted its examination
in other fruits.
Using gas chromatographic and mass spectrometric procedures, the scientists measured the restorative
content of 30 whole fruit samples of blueberry, cranberry, huckleberry, and related plants representing 5
families and 10 species of Vaccination fruit. They found that several samples contained varying
amounts of the compound. Analysis of extracts of the skin, juice/pulp, and seed of muscadine grapes
showed that its concentration in fruit skin was highest. Levels in the juice/pulp were much lower than in
either skin or seeds. Researchers are continuing to analyze more Vaccination and muscadine samples.

Teks Report Antibiotics beserta soal

Antibiotic is a drug produced by certain microbes. Antibiotics destroy other microbes that damage
human tissues. They are used to treat a wide variety of diseases, including gonorrhea, tonsillitis and
tuberculosis. Antibiotics are sometimes called ‘wonder drugs’ because they can cure diseases such as
meningitis, pneumonia and scarlet fever. But when the antibiotics are overused, or misused, these drugs
make a person sensitive being attacked by a superbug.
Antibiotics do not always distinguish between harmless and dangerous microbes. If a drug destroys too
many harmless micro-organism, the pathogenic ones -the dangerous microbes- will have a greater
chance to multiply. This situation often leads to the development of a new infection
called superinfection. Extensive use of some antibiotics may damage organs and tissues. For
example, streptomycin, which is used to treat tuberculosis, has caused kidney damage and deafness.
Resistance to antibiotics may be acquired by pathogenic microbes. The resistant microbes transfer
genetic material to non-resistant microbes and cause them to become resistant. During antibiotic
treatment, non-resistant microbes are destroyed, but resistant types survive and multiply.
To avoid the side effect of antibiotics, you'd better not urge your doctor to prescribe antibiotics. Keep in
mind that antibiotics are only useful for bacterial infections and have no effect on viruses, so they
cannot be used for children pox, measles, and other viral diseases.
1. Which diseases cannot be cured by antibiotics?
a. Tonsillitis
b. Meningitis
c. Chicken pox
d. Tuberculosis
e. Scarlet fever
2. What are discussed in paragraph two and four?

a. Both paragraphs describe how antibiotics work.
b. Both paragraphs tell about the effects of misusing antibiotics.
c. Both paragraphs explain how antibiotics damage organs and tissue.
d. Paragraph two tells what causes the pathogenic microbes multiply and paragraph four tells how un-
resistant microbes become resistant.
e. Paragraph two tells how antibiotics destroy harmless microbes and paragraph four describes how the
pathogenic microbes transfer genetic material to non-resistant microbes.

a. Organs and tissues are damaged.
b. The pathogenic microbes multiply.
c. Harmless micro-organism are destroyed.
d. Pathogenic microbes become non-resistant.
e. New infection which is called superinfection develops.

Contoh Teks Report Gold dan kunci jawaban

Gold is a precious metal. Gold is used as ornaments or as money.

Gold is found in many places, but in a small supply. It is often found on the surface of the earth. Since
gold is a heavy substance, it is sometimes found loose on bottom of rivers. The gold is found together
with sand and rocks, and must be separated from them. It is simple to search for this type of gold.
It is not usually necessary to drill for gold, but when a layer of gold is located deep below the surface of
the earth, it is possible to drill a hole into the ground. Engineers have developed modern process for
removing gold from rocks.

Contoh Analytical Exposition Text: (Perhatikan kalimat bagian terakhir diwarnai merah, kalimat

Public Transportation should be Free
If we can agree that government has some role to play in our lives, then let’s at least make it a positive
one. Consider the benefits of free, fully-subsidized public transportation.
First, it will motivate more people to leave their cars at home. Think of the reduction in pollution and
traffic jam and insurance costs due to accidents. Greener cities, safer cities, more livable cities. More
room for parks and trees. Think of the money we’ll all save by consuming less gas, spending less
frequently on car repairs, and so on. That money will stay in our wallets and we could then turn around
and give the economy a boost by spending it on other consumer goods or services. More jobs.
Secondly, we must consider the health benefits. We’ll all walk a little more. This will reduce visits to
doctors’ offices and hospitals because we’ll be healthier. We’ll have improved blood pressure, lower
stress and possibly a better complexion.
In addition, free transportation will encourage us to enjoy the company of our friends and family. It will
become much more feasible to safely drink another glass of wine at the restaurant or have that extra
beer at the family gathering. We’ll avoid the worry of getting behind the wheel with a blood-alcohol
level that’s above the legal limit. Fewer accidents, fewer tragedies, lower costs of policing and reduced
court backlogs. The increased public expense in transportation should pay off in the form of reduced
health care costs and a safer society.
Then, think about some of the other social benefits: imagine how much we’ll learn from each other
when we share rides instead of sitting in isolation in our cars. Talking to the neighbors might come back
into fashion. More people will meet and talk and maybe even help each other.
Having someone else drive us will also give us more time for reading books and newspapers. So, park
your car and use it for your dream vacation.
No more fumbling for change, just hop on and off the streetcar or bus wherever and whenever you like.
What a great idea, especially for those who live in crowded, polluted cities. It will renew life on our
streets.
So I can’t agree more with this proposition. Let’s go for it!

Organic Farming
A Solution for Harmless Food
Organic farming is a form of agriculture which excludes the use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides,
plant growth regulators, live-stock feed additives, and genetically modified organisms. It is believed that
organic farming should replace conventional one for some reasons.
Firstly, as far as possible, organic farmers rely on crop rotation, integrated pest management, crop
residue, compost and mechanical cultivation to maintain soil productivity and control pests.
Secondly, studies have shown that people who work with pesticides have an increased risk of
developing Parkinson’s disease. The pesticides examined in these two long-term studies, paraquat and
dieldrin, are not allowed on organic farms. The herbicide paraquat and fungicide maneb together, but
not alone, have been shown to cause brain damage in mice. Some organic farming standards do allow
the use of natural methods of protection from pests such as those derived from plants. Organic activists
state that natural pesticides are a last alternative, while growing healthier, disease-resistant plants, using
cover crops and crop rotation, and encouraging beneficial insects and birds are the primary methods of
pest control.
Finally, a 2001 study demonstrated that children who are fed organic diets experienced significantly
lower organophosphorus pesticide exposure than children fed conventional diets. A similar study in
2006 measured the levels of organophosphorus pesticide exposure in 23 pre-school children before and
after replacing their diet with organic food: levels of organophosphorus pesticide exposure dropped
dramatically and immediately when the children switched to an organic diet. Although the researchers
did not collect health outcome data in this study, they concluded “it assumes that children whose diets
consist of organic food items would have a lower probability of neurologic health risks.”
Therefore, organic farming should replace conventional one to reduce the using of pesticides which
usually remain in farm production such as fruits and vegetables since there are a lot of research which
prove that pesticides may be harmful for the consumers if people use pesticides improperly.

 Example of analytical exposition text
Corruption and Indonesian Culture
Thesis:
Corruption has happened for many years and today it becomes a bad culture in Indonesia for three
reasons.
Argument 1:
Most adult Indonesian or foreigners have known and admitted that corruptions happen in many places.
The daily newspapers, news programs on TV and radio have reported corruptions are done everywhere,
almost in all departments or public services of this country. Corruptions happen in health, education
departments and banks. When we manage to get somedocuments in public service offices, we usually
need much money to pay. Manipulations happen everywhere.
Argument 2:
The actions to eliminate corruption are weak. The ever stronger culture seems not to come to an
end when the responsible institutions who have to reinforce the justice today commit corruption. This is
the worst. Corruptions happen in police department, courts where judges, public prosecutors, lawyers
make deals to do corruption. All of us also heard in the end of 2004, Probosutejo reported that he had
bribed the Supreme Court, or called Mahkamah Agung which becomes the highest level where the
justice can be obtained. Perhaps you have to try to come to the local courts and see what happen there.
You will see practices of bribery and other kinds of corruption. Therefore, we can say that corruptions
becomes our culture. Do you like it?
Argument 3:
The citizens have no goodwill to fight against the corruption. They create the situations in which people
have opportunities to do corruptions. The citizens like to break the rules because they are not
disciplined. For example, in the street when they drive a car or ride motorcycle, they do not have the
driving license or necessary documents. Then, they are caught by the local policemen. To avoid more
difficulties, they like to bribe the officer. The officer let them go then. In other words, the citizens and
officers are the same, doing corruption together. If only the people were critical, disciplined, and obey
the rules, and willing to report any wrong behaviors, this country will not be number one corrupting
country in the world.
Reiteration/ conclusion:
In conclusion, corruption is becoming a bad culture in Indonesia if it is not ended soon by all of us. It
seems that there must be more severe penalty for the corruptors. Do we still care about the future of this
country?

Integrated Pest Management
There is no best way to deal with pests in agriculture. Pesticides which are commonly used may cause
many problems. I think combining different management operations is the most effective way to control
pests.
Firstly, the chemicals in the pesticides may build up as residues in the environment and in the soil which
absorbs the chemicals. This reduces the quality of farm product.
Secondly, pests can gradually become resistant to pesticides. This means that newer and stronger ones
have to be developed.
Lastly, some pesticides affect non target plants and animals such as fish and bees. This affects the
ecology and environment as well.
So, understanding of ecology of an area helps a lot in pest control. Pesticides should be chosen and
applied carefully so that they don't affect the ecological balance and environment.
Therefore, integrated pest management is a safe and more effective option to fight pest in agriculture
and livestock.
1. Which of the following is not directly affected by pesticides used?

A. Plants
B. Ecology
C. Animals.
D. Environment.
E. Human Beings
2. What can you say about paragraph two and four?
A. The fourth paragraph supports the idea stated in paragraph two.
B. Both paragraphs tell about the disadvantages of using pesticides.
C. Both paragraphs tell about how pesticides affect the quality of farm products.
D. The statement in paragraph is contrary to the statement in paragraph four.
E. The second paragraph tells about the effects of using pesticides on animals mentioned in paragraph
four.
3. One of the disadvantages of using chemical pesticides is …

A. killing fish and bees.
B. increasing crops productivity.
C. creating balanced ecosystem.

The word resistant in the sentence above means …
A. weak
B. fragile
C. damage
D. unaffected
E. unbalanced
Teks Analytical Exposition Dust Bin + Jawaban
Dust Bin
To improve comfort and cleanliness at our school, a number of dust bins should be increased.
When we look at classrooms, school corridors and school yard, there are paper mineral water cups,
straws, and napkins here and there. The condition of uncleanliness and discomfort really hinders
learning and teaching environment. Litters thrown carelessly cause disease, especially empty plastic cup
or glasses. They can be filled out with water coming from the rain. This can be placed for dengue
mosquitoes to spread out. Besides, these rubbish can deteriorate the scene. Well painted wall and green
school yard do not mean anything litters are scattered everywhere.
Anyway I notice that most of the students in our school have responsibilities for the school
environment. They put their litters on the proper places. But some are not diligent enough to find the
dust bins. The numbers of dust binds in our schools are not enough. Ore dust bins should be put beside
each of steps, outside of the classrooms, and some more also the corridors. Probably one dust bin
should be in every ten meters. So when students want to throw away their litters, they can find the dust
bins easily.
When school is equipped with sufficient dust bins, we do not have problems of freak and discomfort
any more. Our school will be very clean and become a nice place to study.
1. What is the writer’s intention? To ….. readers to do something good.

a. inform
b. explain
c. describe
d. entertain

2. According to the writer, more dust bins….. in every ten meters.
a. should be decorated
b. should be painted
c. should be placed
d. are unnecessary
e. are not required
3. What is the writer’s argument on a sufficient number of dust bins?

a. They can prevent litters
b. They can save janitor’s energy
c. Students are asked to clean them
d. They make school environment neat
e. Students can throw garbage away easily
4. What is the writer’s suggestion?

a. To buy more dustbins
b. To hire more gardeners
c. To use dustbins efficiently
d. To ask parents to give more dustbins
e. To ask students to clean the school yard

Learning English
Learning English through music and songs can be very enjoyable. You can mix pleasure with learning
when you listen to a song and exploit the song as a means to your English progress. Some underlying
reason can be drawn to support the idea why we use songs in language learning.
Firstly, “the song stuck in my head” Phenomenon (the echoing in our minds of the last song we heard
after leaving a restaurant, shopping malls, etc) can be both enjoyable and sometimes unnerving. This
phenomenon also seems to reinforce the idea that songs work on our short-and-long term memory.
Secondly, songs in general also use simple conversational language, with a lot of repetition, which is
just what many learners look for sample text. The fact that they are effective makes them many times
more motivating than other text. Although usually simple, some songs can be quite complex
syntactically, lexically and poetically, and can be analyzed in the same way as any other literary
sample.
Furthermore, song can be appropriated by listener for their own purpose. Most pop songs and probably
many other types don’t have precise people, place or time reference.
In addition, songs are relaxing. They provide variety and fun, and encourage harmony within oneself
and within one group. Little wonder they are important tools in sustaining culture, religion, patriotism
and yeas, even revolution.
Last but not least, there are many learning activities we can do with songs such as studying grammar,
practicing selective listening comprehension, translating songs, learning vocabulary, spelling and
culture.
From the elaboration above, it can be concluded that learning through music and songs, learning English
can be enjoyable and fun.
1. The type of the text above is …

a. Analytical exposition
b. Hortatory exposition
c. Narrative
d. Discussion
e. Explanation
2. What is the communicative purpose of the text?

a. To tell the reader about the songs
b. To entertain the reader with the songs
c. To show the reader the use of songs
d. To explain above the songs
e. To persuade the reader to use songs in learning language
3. The generic structures of the text are ….

a. Thesis – arguments – recommendation
b. General statement – sequential explanation

Secondly, by reading we can get a lot of news and information about something happening in any parts

magazine on the entertainment coloumn such as comedy, short story, quiz, etc. To make us relaxed.

to buy him a set of junior drum because his drum teacher advised me to buy him one. Willy likes

sometimes seem precocious for a boy of his age. He is very inquisitive.
We went there by car. On the way, we saw a policeman standing near a traffic light regulating the
passing cars and other vehicles. He blew his whistle now and then.

Public Transportation should be Free
If we can agree that government has some role to play in our lives, then let’s at least make it a positive
one. Consider the benefits of free, fully-subsidized public transportation.
First, it will motivate more people to leave their cars at home. Think of the reduction in pollution and
traffic jam and insurance costs due to accidents. Greener cities, safer cities, more livable cities. More
room for parks and trees. Think of the money we’ll all save by consuming less gas, spending less
frequently on car repairs, and so on. That money will stay in our wallets and we could then turn around
and give the economy a boost by spending it on other consumer goods or services. More jobs.
Secondly, we must consider the health benefits. We’ll all walk a little more. This will reduce visits to
doctors’ offices and hospitals because we’ll be healthier. We’ll have improved blood pressure, lower
stress and possibly a better complexion.
In addition, free transportation will encourage us to enjoy the company of our friends and family. It will
become much more feasible to safely drink another glass of wine at the restaurant or have that extra
beer at the family gathering. We’ll avoid the worry of getting behind the wheel with a blood-alcohol
level that’s above the legal limit. Fewer accidents, fewer tragedies, lower costs of policing and reduced
court backlogs. The increased public expense in transportation should pay off in the form of reduced
health care costs and a safer society.
Then, think about some of the other social benefits: imagine how much we’ll learn from each other
when we share rides instead of sitting in isolation in our cars. Talking to the neighbors might come back
into fashion. More people will meet and talk and maybe even help each other.
Having someone else drive us will also give us more time for reading books and newspapers. So, park
your car and use it for your dream vacation.
No more fumbling for change, just hop on and off the streetcar or bus wherever and whenever you like.
What a great idea, especially for those who live in crowded, polluted cities. It will renew life on our
streets.
So I can’t agree more with this proposition. Let’s go for it!

Organic Farming
A Solution for Harmless Food
Organic farming is a form of agriculture which excludes the use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides,
plant growth regulators, live-stock feed additives, and genetically modified organisms. It is believed that
organic farming should replace conventional one for some reasons.
Firstly, as far as possible, organic farmers rely on crop rotation, integrated pest management, crop
residue, compost and mechanical cultivation to maintain soil productivity and control pests.
Secondly, studies have shown that people who work with pesticides have an increased risk of
developing Parkinson’s disease. The pesticides examined in these two long-term studies, paraquat and
dieldrin, are not allowed on organic farms. The herbicide paraquat and fungicide maneb together, but
not alone, have been shown to cause brain damage in mice. Some organic farming standards do allow
the use of natural methods of protection from pests such as those derived from plants. Organic activists
state that natural pesticides are a last alternative, while growing healthier, disease-resistant plants, using
cover crops and crop rotation, and encouraging beneficial insects and birds are the primary methods of
pest control.
Finally, a 2001 study demonstrated that children who are fed organic diets experienced significantly
lower organophosphorus pesticide exposure than children fed conventional diets. A similar study in
2006 measured the levels of organophosphorus pesticide exposure in 23 pre-school children before and
after replacing their diet with organic food: levels of organophosphorus pesticide exposure dropped
dramatically and immediately when the children switched to an organic diet. Although the researchers
did not collect health outcome data in this study, they concluded “it assumes that children whose diets
consist of organic food items would have a lower probability of neurologic health risks.”
Therefore, organic farming should replace conventional one to reduce the using of pesticides which
usually remain in farm production such as fruits and vegetables since there are a lot of research which
prove that pesticides may be harmful for the consumers if people use pesticides improperly.

 Example of Hortatory Exposition:
Thesis:
Nowadays, many people have realized that agriculture is much more important than as the supporting
tools in economic development. In Indonesia, agriculture should be the priority of development because
of some good reasons.
Argument:
First of all, the agriculture’s contribution in the beginning of the development is highest among the other
sectors. At present, almost half of total Indonesian labors are working in agriculture sector, but the
contribution of agriculture sector does not reach 30 percent.
Argument:
Second, agriculture sector is expected to fulfill the need of food in a country. As the number of
population increase in an alarming rate each year, food supply must also increase. But in developing
countries, food production and agricultural production per capita never increase more than one percent
each year, and in some extreme case, it even stagnant.
Argument:
Last but not least, without agricultural development, the growth of industrial sector will be hampered
because the growth that comes from industry will bring a wider gap into the internal economy in that
country. In turn, this gap will create serious poverty problem, wider inequality of income distribution,
and increase unemployment.
Recommendation:
Based on the above discussion, it is obvious that the government should put agriculture as the priority of
national development.

Anybody who is over the age of six knows that there is nowhere safe for skateboarders to
skate. This prevents young people from enjoying an active, energetic and adventurous pastime.
Just watch a local street for a short while and note the steady stream of skaters speeding up and down
the footpaths. Toddlers can be trampled on and old ladies can be knocked down as they struggle home

involved in skating, they do not smoke, take drugs or break laws for fun.

Contoh Teks Hortatory Exposition Boarding School Education
There are many arguments in favor of a boarding school education. Nevertheless, the boarding school is
not always the best education institution for everyone.
At an early age interacting and communicating with people is very important for a child’s personal life
and can be especially helpful for his/her future. In a boarding school, shy children can take advantage of
interaction through communal activities. The boarding school also offers a great variety of activities
such as arts, sports, and music that allow children to demonstrate and develop specialized skills in their
free time.
Furthermore, the structured way of life and strict rules at the boarding school may help students to get
used to a well ordered way of life. The manners and social skills will help them to become more
responsible and confident, and to develop their talents in leadership. Professionally trained teachers and
educators in the boarding school can offer excellent education without the parents’ constant supervision.
In spite of these good points, it is not advisable to send a child to a boarding school if he/she is a
dependent learner. A boarding school usually demands that students learn independently. In addition,
the boarding school should not be seen as a measure to solve inappropriate behavior or unsatisfactory
study performance. Instead of improving, problematic children may close off their relationship with
their peers and teachers.
In conclusion although a boarding school may provide good education to many children, it is not
recommended for those who are strongly attached to their families. They may become frustrated
and socially isolated.
1. According to the writer, children in a boarding school can develop specialized skills in…
a. Entrepreneurship

a. It is good for shy children
b. It gives good education for adults
c. Interacting and communicating with people is very important
d. It does not allow children demonstrate excellence and develop their skills
e. It is safe and makes children become responsible and develop talents in leadership

Dear Editor,
We are writing to complain about ads on TV. There are so many ads, especially during our favourite
programmes. We think they should be stopped for a number of reasons.
First, ads are nuisance. They go on for a long time and there are so many. Sometimes there seems to be
more ads than programmes.
Second, ads are bad influence on people. They try to encourage people to buy unhealthy food like beer,
soft drink, candy and chips. And they make people want things they do not really need and can not.
Finally, the people who make ads have too much say in what programmes people watch. That is because
they want to put all their ads on popular programs that a lot of people watch. Some programmes which
are not so popular get stopped because they do not attract enough ads, even though those programmes
may be someone’s favourite.
For those reasons, we think TV station should stop showing ads. They interrupt programmes. They are
bad influences on people, and they are sometimes put a stop to people’s favourite shows. We are sick of
ads, and now we mostly watch other channels.

Old Enough?
When a person old enough to be responsible for a crime? This question needs to be investigated because
the current law is not good enough.
The law at present protects children aged between ten years and four years from being punished for
committing crimes. It is believed that children under fourteen years are too young to realize the
seriousness of their crimes. Mr. Stephen Scarlett, head of the NSW Children’s Court, describes how
clever young offenders use this defense, saying that they are too young to understand that they have
broken the law. Mr. Scarlett, an expert on this subject, states that the age should be dropped from
fourteen to twelve years. I agree with this.
Teenagers these days are far more sophisticated than those in the past. The law should recognize this. In
a recent survey some people suggested that the age for being responsible for a crime should be dropped
to eight years old. This, I feel, is too young. Fourteen, however, is too old. Is there anyone who believes
that a fourteen-year-old does not know that it is against the law to steal or vandalize property? By the
age of twelve, children are aware of what is legal and what is not.
Public pressure creates change. It is now up to the public to put pressure on the government to change
the age at which a person may be held responsible for a crime from fourteen years to twelve years. Out
of date laws have no place in a modern society, especially one that needs people to be responsible for
their actions.

Contoh Teks Hortatory Exposition Students' Cheating
Students’ Cheating
Students’ cheating is one of the biggest problems faced by teachers nowadays.
Despite the fact that teachers advise their students not to do dishonest acts during tests, some students
still do cheating. There are many kinds of cheating that students do during the test or examination, such
as looking other students’ work, put some notes under their clothes, write notes or formulas on their
desks make hand signals or go to rest rooms to get the answers from their friends.
In my view, students who do cheating are committing a crime. It is a sort of taking something illegally.
This crime causes negative results to the students. Students who always cheat deteriorate their mental
capacity. Cheating acts also create dependence. They weaken their self confidence. Instead of preparing
for the coming test, they are busy to organize notes on a piece of paper. If this awful habit continues, the
students will lose their opportunity to develop their intellectual and mind.
Therefore, school should consider cheating as a very serious problem. School board and administration
should go hand to overcome this matter. Honesty must be put in school’s vision. Harsh punishment
must be applied to students who commit this crime.
1. What is mainly discussed in the text?

a. School policy
b. Harsh punishment
c. Cheating as a crime

EXPLANATION
Explanation Text + Jawaban Natural Disaster
A natural disaster is a terrible accident, e.g. a great flood, a big fire or an earthquake. It usually causes
great suffering and loss of a large sum of money. The casualties are injured or died. Some people are
homeless and need medical care.
Floods occur when the water of rivers, lakes, or streams overflow their banks and pour onto the
surrounding land. Floods are caused by many different things. Often heavy rainstorms that last for a
brief can cause a flood. But not all heavy storms are followed by flooding. If the surrounding land is flat
and can absorb the water, no flooding will occur. If, however, the land is hard and rocky, heavy rain
cannot be absorbed. Where the banks are low, a river may overflow and flood adjacent lowland.
In many part of the world flood are caused by tropical storms called hurricanes or typhoons. They bring
destructive winds of high speed, torrents of rain, and flooding. When a flood occurs, the destruction to
surrounding land can be severe. Whole villages and towns are sometimes swept away by water pouring
swiftly over the land. Railroad track blocked and uprooted from their beds. Highways are washed away.
When a building caught fire, the firemen pitched in to help battle the blaze. Before the pumps were
invented, people formed bucket brigades to fight fires. Standing side by side, they formed a human
chain from the fire to nearby well or river. They passed buckets of water from to hand to be poured on
the flames.
The damage of the fire did depend a great deal on where it happened. In the country or a small village,
only a single house might burn down. But in crowded cities, fire often destroyed whole blocks and
neighborhoods before being controlled.
1. What can possibly prevent rivers and lakes from overflowing?

Teks Explanation Soal + Jawaban The Sense of the Taste

The sense of taste is one of a person's five senses. We taste with the help of taste-buds in the tongue.
There are four main kinds of taste: sweet, sour, salty, and bitter. All other tastes are just mixtures of two
or more of these main types.
The surface of the tongue has more than fifteen thousand taste-buds (or cells). These are connected to
the brain by special nerves which send the so-called 'tastes messages.
When the tongue comes into contact with food of any kind, the taste-buds will pick up the taste. The
nerves then send a message to the brain. This will make us aware of the taste. All this happens in just a
few seconds.
There are four kinds of taste-buds, each of which is sensitive to only a particular taste. These four
groups are located in different parts of the tongue.
The taste-buds for salty and sweet tastes are found round the tip of the tongue and along its sides. Sour
tastes can be picked up only at the sides of the tongue. The taste-buds of the bitter taste are found at the
innermost edge of the tongue. There are taste-buds at the centre of the tongue.
The senses of smell and sight can affect taste. The good smell of food increases its taste. Similarly,
attractive colours can make food appear tastier and more delicious. If food does not smell good or is
dull-coloured, it will look tasty and may not taste good at all.
Very hot or cold sensations can make the taste-buds insensitive. Food that is too hot or too cold, when
placed in the mouth, will have no tastes at all.
1. We can taste any kind of food because of ........

A. the good smell of food

Contoh Teks Explanation

Seasons come to us regularly. We have probably noticed that it gets warmer in summer or dry season
while it get colder in the winter or wet season. However do we know how these seasons change?
Seasons happen and change every year. This happens because the earth tilts back and forth as it goes
around the sun. During the summer, the earth tilts toward the sun. It makes half of the earth hotter. this
condition is what we call summer. During the other half of the year, the earth tilts away from the sun.
As a result, it makes that half of the earth cooler. This cool condition is then what we call winter.
The different parts of the world have the same season at different times. In the northern half of the
world , winter happens during the months of December, January and February. The regions are such
North America and Europe. In the other hand, the southern half of the world have winter during the
months of June, July and August.The regions are like South America and Australia. How does this
difference happen? The same season happens at different times because the top and bottom halves of the
earth tilt away from the sun at different times.

for women are 20 percent than they are for men. Another proof is that more accidents are caused by
male drivers between the ages of 18 and 25 than by any other groups. Also the greater percentage of
accident involving death is caused by men. Although women are criticized for being too cautious, they
are really just being safe drivers.
The reason for women driver's safer habits can perhaps be found in the differing attitudes of sexes
toward automobiles as a convenience, like a washing machine.
On the other hand, men regard the automobile as an extension of their egos. Using it as a weapon when
they feel particularly aggressive or using it as a status symbol.
In all, women are safer drivers because of their attitude. Men can learn to become safe drivers if they
adopt the attitude that an automobile is merely a convenience.

Will solar energy ever be a main source of energy for industrial societies? The solar energy is cheaper
than any fossil fuel because we can get the abundant source of energy from the sun.
In sunny deserts, the sun’s radiation that reaches the ground can be used to produce electricity for
industries and homes. In one of experiment, solar ponds can produce hot water to drive generators.
Unfortunately, we can’t power our homes entirely on sunlight. Solar energy can only be exploited in
bright light. Its great potential, therefore, is in countries that have clear skies for most of the year. Most
houses, however, are not in the sunniest part of the world. In addition to convert sunlight directly into
electricity, solar cells are needed. Although they are very cheap to run, relatively they are expensive to
buy and many people can’t afford them.

A. Solar car
B. Solar cells
C. Solar ponds
D. Solar heating
E. Solar batteries

Teks Discussion Bus Way
Governor Sutiyoso has launched his mass rapid transportation plan. This includes monorail, subway,
water transportation, and Busway. Among the public transportation plan, Busway has been put into
effect. The air conditioned bus fleet with their special roads have been operated since last year. Now,
more routes are being constructed to cover the five mayoralties. In fact, the existence of Busway makes
pros and cons.
Some people consider Busway can solve a traffic problem faced by the metropolitan city. Everyday
millions of people commute from their houses to their respective work places. This badly needs
adequate public transportation. If fifty persons go to their offices by cars, they need fifty cars roaming
on the street. This number of cars can be replaced by only one Busway. Consequently, with reduced
vehicles the streets are less congested. Therefore, it can decline traffic jams. Apart from reducing traffic
jams, Busway easies Jakarta inhabitants to go to their workplace or other destination. For this reason
more access on Busway is being accomplished. Other Busway roads have been constructed, such as,
Kota-Kalideres and Kota-Pulogadung. This definitely make easier for people who go for recreation to
the zoo.
Besides reducing traffic jam and comforting passengers, Busway can minimize air pollution. As stated,
Busway can replace other vehicles in a great number. It apparently declines the danger of pollution.
Less vehicles means less carbon monoxide coming out from the exhausted fumes. As a result, the
residents of Jakarta are less threatened with sickness caused by air pollution. And if Busway
administration can manage the public transport well, Busway can create a new icon of Jakarta.
Those who resist the exsistence of Busway argue that instead of solving problem, Busway create a new
problem. Busway even makes traffic worse. The Busway line makes the roads narrower. Narrow roads
cause passing vehicles to get stuck especially during rush hours. Furthermore, Busway adds up
corruption that has become a vicious circle in this country. As reported in a newspaper the purchase of
Busway fleet is under corruption suspect. Billions of rupiah are believed to have been put into the city
administrator’s pocket. In terms of the expense, Busway fare is also much expensive than an ordinary
bus. It costs Rp 3.500,. for one ride, while the common bus only costs Rp 2.000,. With the difference in
bus fare, it is likely that passengers prefer to ride ordinary buses.
Apparently, Busway still creates different outlooks among the residents of Jakarta. In spite of all the
critics, the governor of Jakarta firmly continues to extend its routes.
1. What does the text discuss?
A. The benefits of Busway
B. The existence of Busway
C. The weakness of Busway
D. People who oppose Busway
E. People who support Busway
2. In paragraph two, people mainly talk about ….
A. Busway is comfortable
B. Taking a public transport is easy
C. Millions of people drive their cars
D. More Busway roads are being constructed
E. Busway benefits the city’s residents
3. What is the argument of people who are against Busway?
A. Busway fare is twice as much as that of ordinary bus
B. Busway pollutes the capital city
C. Busway is not air conditioned
D. Busway is uncomfortable
E. Busway makes roads narrower
4. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the text?
A. More Busway roads are constructed
B. Busway makes the street less congested
C. The governor is unsure about the development of Busway
D. The city needs sufficient public transportation
E. Busway can replace many cars to transport passengers
5. The underlined word in paragraph 1 means …..
A. dirty
B. smelly
C. slippery
D. polluted

Balancing High School and Part-Time Work
You have to consider a number of factors when deciding whether or not to get a job. The important
thing is to arm yourself with as much information as possible, so you can figure out what choice makes
the most sense for you.
If you are considering working part-time, schedule a meeting with your school counselor to discuss this
move. Talk to your counselor about why you want to work and what type of position you’re seeking.
Simply explaining your goals to someone else can help you make decisions and figure out your
priorities.
Schoolwork, including homework and studying for tests, should always be your top priority. “The
activities and courses students choose vary considerably, so it’s important for young people to keep
their individual situations clearly in mind,” says Brad McGowan, director of the Career Centre at
Newton North High School in Massachusetts. Further, McGowan cautions students who do decide to
work: “If you are rushing through your assignment or not studying enough for tests because of work,
it’s time to cut back or quit and find a less time-consuming job.” He adds, “Students should always let
their employers know what their time limits are.” If you are being pressured to work more hours than
you can handle, you need to find a new place to work. You also need to make sure that a job won’t
prevent you from getting enough rest.

Contoh Teks Discussion Living in a big city
Living in a big city has both advantages and disadvantages

On the plus side, it is often easier to find work, and there is usually a choice of public transport, so you
don’t need to own a car. Also, there are a lot of interesting to do and places to see.
For example, you can eat in good restaurants, visit the museums, and go to the theater and to concerts.
What is more, when you want to relax, you can usually find a park where you can feed the ducks or just
sit on a park bench and read a book. All in all, city life is full of bustle and variety and you need never
feel bored.
However, for every plus there is a minus. For one thing, you might have a job, but unless it is very well
paid, you will not be able to afford many of the things that there are to do, because living in a big city is
often very expensive.
It is particularly difficult to find good, cheap accommodation. What is more, public transport is
sometimes crowded and dirty, particularly in the rush hour, and even the parks can become very
crowded, especially on Sundays when it seems that every city dweller is looking for some open space
and green grass. Last of all, despite all the crowds, it is still possible to feel very lonely in a city.
In conclusion, I think that city life can be particularly appealing to young people, who like the
excitement of the city and don’t mind the noise and pollution. However, many people, when they get
older, and particularly when they have young children, often prefer the peace and fresh air of the
countryside.

Teks Discusssion Muslim’s Headscarf
The right to freedom of religion is enshrined in the UN charter and considered by many to be a basic
human right. Some religions require special diet, others prayer at specific times. Why should a religious
mode of dress receive as much protection as these other aspects of religious freedom?
Many Muslim women view the veil as a means to protect their modesty and privacy. Just as we would
not force any women to be seen in public in her underwear if she did not feel comfortable doing so, why
should a woman be forced to show her hair if she does not want to? Modesty is a personal judgment
call; some are comfortable in the smallest bikini while others prefer a lot more clothing. No one but the
woman herself should make that decision.
Muslim women are not the only ones to feel coerced over their mode of dress. Most people are affected
by the societal norms surrounding them. Fashion trends could be seen in exactly the same light as
religious traditions.
Banning head coverings is only likely to provoke a more extreme reaction among highly religious
communities. Framing laws to ban only Islamic forms of dress could be considered an attack on one
religion. Feeling under attack could cause the Islamic community to close off into itself. They could set
up religious schools where their children can dress as they want them to and not mix with children from
other faiths. These effects could never be good for the integration of society and would further the
influence of extremists. Internationally, the perceived attack on Islamic values would inflame wider
Muslim opinion, feed conspiracy theories and add to the dangerous feeling that there is a clash of
civilizations.
Intolerant schools make up problems as an excuse for not allowing Muslims freedom of religious
expression. In a multicultural society, students should be aware of the different religious practise and
cultural traditions of their classmates, and be taught to understand and respect these. Without such
respect, Muslims and other groups with distinctive dress, such as Orthodox Jews and Sikhs, will be
driven out of mainstream education and forced to educate their children separately, which will really
create divisions and alienation.
Based on the above discussion, the government should not banned Muslim’s headscarf as a part of
school or office uniforms.
1. What does the text discuss?
a. Muslim students
b. Muslim boarding school
c. Muslim life
d. Muslim headscarf
e. Muslim community
2. What is Muslim women’s view on the veil?
a. It is an obstacle of their freedom.
b. It is to protect their modesty and privacy.
c. It is a fashion trend among them.
d. They feel being forced to wear it.
e. It is what their parents told them to wear.
3. Paragraph 4 tells us that banning on Muslim headscarf could …
a. arouse social conflict among social communities.
b. maintain solidarity among social communities.
c. provoke a more extreme reaction among highly religious communities
d. teach students social awareness.
e. make Muslim women lose their identity.
4. “Intolerant schools make up problems as an excuse for not allowing Muslims freedom of religious
expression” (paragraph 5)
The sentence implies…
a. Muslims freedom of religious expression may cause problems.
b. Many social conflicts arouse because of Muslims freedom of religious expression.
c. Schools should not be tolerant to any freedom of religious expression.
d. Schools are allowed to ban Muslim headscarf because it may cause problems.
e. Schools should not ban Muslims freedom of religious expression on any reason.
5. What does the writer suggest?
a. Schools should not be tolerant to any freedom of religious expression.
b. Students should know various social groups among the society.
c. The government should ban Muslims headscarf because it may arouse conflicts.
d. Muslim’s headscarf as a part of school or office uniforms should not be banned.
e. Schools are allowed to ban Muslim headscarf because it may arouse many problems.
6. The word “veil” in paragraph 2 has similar meaning to …
a. helmet
b. glove
c. headscarf
d. napkin
e. sock
Teks Discussion using drugs in sports
Should Performance enhancing drugs be accepted in sports?

The issue of using drugs to enhance athlete’s performance is controversial . those who agree to the use
of drugs in enhancing performance say that most top players in all sports take drugs to train harder and
feel no pain during play. The trainers, sports doctors, nutritionists, physiotherapists and managers of the
big names make sure banned substances are taken at the safest and most efficient levels. The main effect
of banning such substances has returned performers and their coaches into liars and cheaters.
On the other hand, some still believe that performance enhancing drugs in sport should be banned.
Performance enhancing drugs are not only prohibited because they violate the spirit of sport but because
they can damage the health of athletes.
I think the idea of allowing them in sports could lead to a situation whereby sportsmen and women are
used as human guinea pigs for a constant flow of new, unregulated substances.
1. What argument is given by those who disagree with the use of performance enhancing drugs?
a. Athletes health is badly affected.
b. Gunea pigs are awfully needed.
c. Athletes consume more drugs.
d. Athletes obey the rules.
e. Athletes perform better.
2. According to the proponents of proponents of performance enhancing drugs, the effect of banning
them is that performers become…
a. Losers
b. Winners
c. Cheaters
d. Hooligans
e. Supporters
3. What is the writer’s intention to write the text?
a. To persuade readers to agree with the issue.
b. To influence readers to oppose the issue.
c. To describe performance enhancing drugs.
d. To entertain readers with the issue.
e. To expose readers with the issue.
4. How does the writer feel about the performance enhancing drugs?
a. Neutral
b. Positive
c. Negative
d. Indefinite
e. Pessimistic
Teks Discussion Nuclear Power beserta pembahasan kunci jawaban

Soal UN SMA/MA 2010
Nuclear power is generated by using uranium, which is a metal mined in various parts of the world. The
first large-scale nuclear power station was opened at Calder Hall in Cumbria, England, in 1956.
Some military ships and submarines have nuclear power plant for engines. Nuclear power produces
around 11% of the world’s energy needed, and produces huge amounts of energy. It causes no pollution
as you’d get when burning fossil fuels.
The advantages of nuclear are as follows:
1. It costs about the same as coal, so it’s not expensive to make
2. It doesn’t produce smoke or carbon dioxide, so it doesn’t contribute to the greenhouse effect.
3. It produces huge amounts of energy from small amount of uranium.
4. It produces small amounts of waste.
5. It is reliable
On the other hand, nuclear power is very, very dangerous. It must be sealed up and buried for many
years to allow the radioactivity to die away. Furthermore, although it is reliable, a lot of money has to be
spent on safety because if it does go wrong, a nuclear accident can be a major disaster.
People are increasingly concerned about this. In the 1990’s nuclear power was the fastest growing
source of power in many parts of the world. In 2005, it was the 2nd slowest-growing.
1. The text discusses …..
A. Nuclear in general
B. Nuclear biggest station
C. The danger of radioactive
D. The disadvantages of nuclear power
E. The advantages and disadvantages of nuclear power
2. The opposite of dangerous is …….(paragraph 4)

B. Dull
C. Tiny
D. Calm
E. Safe
3. Why is nuclear power very dangerous?
A. Its radioactivity lasts long
B. Uranium is renewable
C. It is reliable
D. It is cheap
E. It is safe
4. Which statement is TRUE about nuclear?
A. It is reliable
B. It is costly to make
C. It causes air pollution
D. It affects the greenhouse
E. It produces small amounts of energy
Teks Discussion : Adoption

Adoption is the process by which people take a child who was not born to them and raise him or her as a
member of their family. By law, adopted children differ from foster children. An adopted child has all
the legal rights of a member of the family that raises him or her. A foster child does not.
Parents place their children up for adoptions for many reasons. Some parents feel they cannot
adequately care for their off springs because of health or economic conditions. Some others, especially
unwed parent, may not want to raise a child.
But there are couples who cannot have children of their own. Adoption gives them opportunity to raise a
family. They can get one from an adoption agency if they have all the requirements asked.
State laws prohibited adoption agencies from revealing the identity of the natural parents to the adoptive
parents. These laws also forbid agencies from disclosing the identity of the adoptive parents to the
natural parents. In some states, the law permits adopted persons who are at least 18 years old to see their
birth certificates including the natural parents’ names.
On the contrary, many adopted people worked to change the laws. They argued that people have a right
to know their identity. They said that keeping secret their adoptions records violate their right.
On the other hand, many people feel adoption records should be kept secret. If not, natural parents
might change their minds years later and take the child away from the parents who raised him or her.
Some experts advise that a child should know of the adoptions by the age of 6 or 7. Surveys have shown
that most adopted children develop normally.
1. Which of the following is not the reason why parents place their child up for adoption?
a. He or she is from a poor family.
b. His or her parents do not love them.
c. His or her parents are not in good health.
d. His or her parents do not want to raise him/her.
e. His or her parents cannot afford to give good education.
2. An adoptive child has no right …

a. To receive inheritance
b. To get adequate love and care
c. To know his/her adoption record
d. To live with his/her natural parents
e. To be well treated as member of a family
3. The writer’s purpose in writing the text above is…

a. To tell readers how to adopt a child
b. To describe people who adopt a child
c. To explain to readers how an adopted child raised
d. To persuade people to have a foster or to adopt a child
e. To inform readers the reasons and problems of adopting a child
4. Which of the following is the most improbable reason why adopted children want to have/know their
adopted records?
a. They want to know their natural parents.
b. They want to know why they are adopted.
c. They want to know their status in adoptive parents.
d. They want to pay back their adoptive parents expenditure.
e. They want to know their parents place them up for adoption.
Contoh Teks Discussion dan kunci jawaban
The government has just published a report which suggest that television is partly responsible for the
serious increase in crime over the last ten years. The exposure of violence or pornography harmfully
effects on children.
Many people who are alive today know what it is like to live in a world without television. Television as
we know is only about forty years old. Yet it is so much a part of our lives that it seems as if it had
always existed.
Some people think that the years before the invention of television were a better time. They claim that
families talked more and did more things together. More books were read. People used their
imaginations more fully. People got more outdoor exercises.
But others disagree. They claim that television is a powerful educational tool. It informs us of what is
going on in the world, from a famine in Africa to a local politics and fashion. It helps us understand how
people live, work, and struggle.
In 1961, Newton Minow, a government official, called prime-time schedules “ a vast wasteland.”
Television is credited with being a great teacher, but it is also blamed for the poor reading and writing
skills of our population. Television gets praised for helping us understand the people of the world. But it
has been accused of helping to destroy family life. Television keeps us informed about the political
issues of the day.
Experts will probably continue to argue about television’s value. But everyone agrees that it is one of
the most significant inventions of the twentieth century.

REVIEW
Review Text + Jawaban Laskar Pelangi
SOAL UN SMA 2012
‘Laskar Pelangi’: The Audacity of Hope
This is a movie adapted from a best-selling Indonesian novel. It took 40 days of filming on Belitung
Island, Bangka-Belitung province. Involving 12 local actors, it reportedly cost Rp 8 billion. With all the
efforts of transforming Laskar Pelangi (Rainbow Warrior) into a moving picture, will it satisfy readers’
imaginations?
Laskar Pelangi, the novel, was written by Andrea Hirata in 2005, based on his own experiences. It is
about an inspiring teacher and her 10 students in the poverty-stricken Kampung Gantong in Belitung.
The poor condition of their school building does not dampen their high spirits and hopes for a better
future.
Two years later, the novel became a phenomenon in Indonesian literature. With its humanistic touch,
Laskar Pelangi has sold more than 500,000 copies and has won the position of Must-Read Novel in
every corner of the nation’s bookshops and media review pages. It has finally overcome the domination
of teen-lit, chick-lit and even religious novels, the popular theme of today.
Andrea entrusted the filming of the story to the respected figures in the film industry, Mira Lesmana and
Riza, as producer and film director. In July 2007, Mira and Riri started the pre-production, which took a
year to finish. Together with the scriptwriter Salman Aristo they decided to create a different scenario
for the film.

Review Text + Jawaban

Soal UN SMA/MA 2011
It was the dawn of science and technology. Anything seemed possible –even the creation of life itself.
Victor Frankenstein becomes obsessed with this idea and works relentlessly to prove his theories; but
the glory he imagined becomes a living nightmare –not only for him, but for his friends and family too.
Mary Shelley’s gothic horror story- Frankenstein-was first published in 1818 and has been the
inspiration behind numerous stage productions and films – many of which strayed a long way away
from her original masterpiece. Classical Comics presenting a full-colour graphic novel remains true to
this classic tale, bringing the original story to life which has never been created before.
This graphic novel is available in two versions: Original Text and Quick Text editions. The Original
Text stays faithful to Shelley’s original text, while the Quick Text brings the story up to date by
presenting the text into a more simplified style so that the tale is accessible to all readers.
The Quick Text edition will allow you to soak up a general feeling for the characters and locations,
while the Original Text version will help you easily slip into the language in which the novel was
written.
Even if you’re not studying the original, this graphic novel is worth buying. It’s a great story, and
should be one that everyone has the chance to read. Now, thanks to this release, even those who don’t
particularly like to read too much are given the chance to find this tale and hopefully it may encourage
them to search out the original book too.
As with previous Classical Comics, the presentation is first class. The best grade glossy paper really
helps to set this graphic novel head and shoulders above the usual comic book releases on the market.
Not only that, you also get a pretty comprehensive biography of Shelley; Mary Shelley’s Family Tree; a
feature that explains what life was like in the year of the book’s release; and a brief look on how
Frankenstein has been adapted to many different formats over the years.

A. the quick text and original text of Frankenstein story

Teks Review : Kung Fu Panda
The story to ‘Kung Fu Panda
The story to ‘Kung Fu Panda’ is nothing really new, but it is told so well as to actually pack an
emotional punch. And it never comes off as laughable, which in lesser hands could easily have
happened. Speaking of laughs, there are many to be had here as well. ‘Kung Fu Panda’ works on just
about every level a family movie can.
The cast features Jack Black as Po the Panda. The furious five, the most feared group of warriors in all
of China, consists of Tigress (Angelina Jolie), Monkey (Jackie Chan), Mantis (Seth Roger), Viper (Lucy
Liu), and Crane (David Cross). Their master is Shifu (Dustin Hoffman), a fur ball creature who is a
legendary teacher of Kung Fu. Escaped from prison and on hi way to claim the Dragon Scroll, which
will make him the all powerful Dragon Warrior, is the good gone bad Tai Lung (Ian McShane). But
first, he’ll have to muscle his way around 400 pounds of panda to get to it.
‘Kung Fu Panda’ is a damn good time at the movies. This was the movie that Dreamworks Animation
so desperately needed after the disappointing ‘Shrek The Third’. With gorgeous animation, spectacular
action, a great cast and dramatic weight of an Akira Kurosawa film, Kung Fu Panda is one of the
favourite movie of the year.
1. Which of the following quality does not describe the movie?
A. Funny
B. Touching
C. Stunning movie picture
D. Excellent actors
E. Unexciting
2. Shrek The Third is ….
A. as desperate as Kung Fu Panda
B. not produced by Dreamworks
C. not a moving picture
D. not a first-rate movie
E. a brilliant movie
3. The antagonist role of the movie is ….
A. Po
B. Tigress
C. Shifu
D. Tai Lung
E. Viper
4. The phrase ’a full ball creature’ means….
A. An animal who likes to play fur ball
B. A ball-size creature which is hairy
C. An animal with black and white skin
D. An animal who is good at Kung Fu
E. A hairy animal

Dear Betty,
I'm writing to you concerning of my last day in Jogya. I just got back from Borobudur, the wonderful
temple I've ever seen. The weather is fine. We are now staying in a hotel. It's not far from Malioboro.
We are treated well here. It has many excellent staff who serve the customers. We plan to go around
Malioboro after the children take a short nap. We want to enjoy having "lesehan" there. It is a kind of a
restaurant but we sit on the ground.
Many kinds of local handicraft are sold along Malioboro street. Both domestic and foreign tourists are
interested in them. I want to buy some as souvenirs.
Don't worry, I'll also buy you the most interesting one.

TEXT 1
Donkey in the well
One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried piteously for hours as the
farmer tried to figure out what to do. Finally he decided the animal was old and the well needed
to be covered up anyway, it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey.
He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began to
shovel dirt into the well. At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly.
Then, to everyone's amazement, he quieted down.
A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well and was astonished at what
he saw. With every shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something amazing.
He would shake it off and take a step up.
As the farmer's neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off
and take a step up. Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge
of the well and trotted off!
Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick to getting out of the well is to
shake it off and take a step up. Each of our troubles is a stepping-stone. We can get out of the
deepest wells just by not stopping, never giving up! Shake it off and take a step up!

without him and his family. He shed tears of disappointment. He cursed both his son and God
for the misfortune.
Five days latter, the tragic news spread throughout Scotland. The ship, the mighty Titanic, had
shank. It took hundreds of passenger and crew with it. Titanic which had been called the
unsinkable ship had sunk. It was unbelievable but it was.
The Clak family should have been on that ship, but because of the bitten son by a dog, they
were left behind. When the father heard the news, he hugged the son and thanked him for
saving the family. He thanked God for saving their lives. It was a blessing behind a tragedy.

Teks Anecdote : Snake in a Bath

How would you like to find a snake in your bath? A nasty one too!
We had just moved into a new house, which had been empty for so long that everything was in a
terrible mess. Anna and I decided we would clean the bath first, so we set to, and turned on the tap.
Suddenly to my horror, a snake’s head appeared in the plug-hole. Then out slithered the rest of his
long thin body. He twisted and turned on the slippery bottom of the bath, spitting and hissing at us.
For an instant I stood there quite paralysed. Then I yelled for my husband, who luckily came running
and killed the snake with the handle of a broom. Anna, who was only three at the time, was quite
interested in the whole business. Indeed I had to pull her out of the way or she’d probably have leant
over the bath to get a better look!
We found out later that it was a black mamba, a poisonous kind of snake. It had obviously been fast
asleep, curled up at the bottom of the nice warm water-pipe. It must have had an awful shock when
the cold water came trickling down! But nothing to the shock I got! Ever since then I’ve always put the
plug in firmly before running the bath water.

Taken for a Ride
In love traveling in the country, but I don’t like losing my way. I went on an excursion recently,
but my trip took me longer than I expected.
“I’m going to Woodford Green,” I said to the conductor as I got on the bus, “but I don’t know
where it is.”
“I’ll tell you where to get off,” answered the conductor.
I sat in the front of the bus to get a good view on the countryside. After some time, the bus
stopped. Looking around, I realized with a shock that I was the only passenger left on the bus.
“You’ll have to get off here,” the conductor said. “This is as far as we go.”
“Is this Woodford Green?” I asked.
“Oh dear,” said the conductor suddenly. “I forgot to put you off.”
“It doesn’t matter,” I said. “I’ll get off here.”
We are going back now,” said the conductor.
“Well, in that case, I would prefer to say on the bus,” I answered.
